Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), Portals

A comprehensive integration and application platform, works together with your existing IT infrastructure to enable and manage change. With our solutions, you can flexibly and rapidly design, build, implement and execute new business strategies and processes. You can also drive innovation throughout your organisation by combining existing systems while maintaining a sustainable cost structure.

Enterprises that effectively align technology with business goals achieve competitive advantage. We are helping organisations to achieve faster time to value by driving compatibility across the application infrastructure through open standards and service-oriented architecture (SOA).

SOA is an IT strategy that organises the discrete functions contained in enterprise applications into interoperable, standards-based services that can be combined and reused quickly to meet business needs. SOA enables a more adaptable IT environment and facilitates integration. In SOA, IT systems are developed as independent, loosely coupled business services. Each business service can be easily integrated or reused, creating a more flexible IT infrastructure with faster delivery cycles and lower costs.

Through SOA you can integrate:

• Information - Provide an integrated, consistent, accurate, real-time view of your data, residing across disparate systems and platforms.
• Processes - Automate and comprehensively monitor your processes across applications, people and organisations
• Applications - Interconnect your applications using pre-built and configurable adapters
• Channels - Provide consistent information across all communication channels with your customers (Call Center, Sales Force, WWW, E-mail, etc.)
• Business Partners - Extend your business processes and applications to partners using industry standard protocols

By organizing enterprise IT around services instead of around applications, SOA provides key benefits:

• Improves productivity, agility and speed for both Business and IT
• Allows IT to deliver services faster and align closer with business
• Allows the business to respond quicker and deliver optimal user experience
• Masks the underlying technical complexity of the IT environment

This results in more rapid development and more reliable delivery of new and enhanced business services.

Today, organisations that have adopted service-oriented environments based on J2EE enterprise software foundation are experiencing improved results, including increased revenues, increased customer satisfaction, lower operational costs and higher returns on their existing technology investments. We embrace Internet standards such as HTTP, XML and Web services, ensuring openness and interoperability with J2EE and .net environments.

We have both the vision and the roadmap to improve business responsiveness by simplifying enterprise computing.

Our Portal solution is based on an enterprise portal platform that simplifies the production and management of custom-fit portals. Built on the performance, scalability, and reliability of an industry-leading Application Server, our portal solutions take full advantage of open, familiar Web-based standards and technologies, as well as a unified development environment that goes beyond applications to encompass entire business processes. The result is that you have maximum flexibility to build the solutions you need, when you need them.
